As the COVID-19 outbreak gains momentum here in the UK, I wanted to take a moment to outline the approach we are adopting to ensure we are able to continue to provide a duty of care to our team, to you and your clients as well as the communities in which we work.

Our colleagues
We are closely monitoring government advice and are regularly communicating with our team. We have been listening carefully to our staff who have been sharing their concerns with us and our contingency plan reflects and responds to these concerns.
We operate a flexible work place and empower our team to work from home as they require. We operate a virtual network and have a range of communication platforms available to us. This means it will be business as usual regardless of whether we are in the office or working remotely. You will be able to contact team members in all of the usual ways you would do normally. Landlines will work regardless of where we are working.
 
Businesses we are advising

Our advisory team have been issued with appropriate guidelines which seek to mitigate their exposure to COVID-19, whilst ensuring we continue to be able to advise clients appropriately and meet the requirements demanded of us by our individual regulatory bodies, notably where formal insolvency assignments are concerned.
 
Fellow professionals and the wider business community

As many of you will know, our senior team have hundreds of years of collective experience in advising businesses facing periods of stress and distress. We are experiencing the most extreme of business conditions, many of which I have not seen in my life time and I feel that Quantuma has a social responsibility towards the professional adviser community in addition to the wider business communities in which we work.
 
In the coming days, weeks and months, we will be sharing with you our collective knowledge and insight to help businesses in stronger positions to navigate these extreme times; to preserve value and to position themselves to thrive as we emerge from this crisis.
 
Current market conditions

We are already advising a large number of businesses adversely affected by the ongoing outbreak, and are experiencing an increasing number of calls from our professional networks seeking initial advice from us on behalf of clients. We expect this to continue for the foreseeable future. In the instance you have client related concerns, I would urge you to seek early advice from your usual Quantuma contacts.
 
Finally, on behalf the Quantuma team, all the best to you, your teams and families. We are all looking forward to seeing you again in due course.
 
Kind regards,
Carl Jackson
Managing Partner
